Snow report Kitzsteinhorn, 10/16/2017
Yesterday for the first time for the season on the Kitz. Fantastic skiing for this time of year!

Overall impression
Snow condition
The snow conditions are pretty poor, that's for sure. But compared to the same time last year, it looks much better! The crevasses under the summit lift have also improved in comparison. It is possible to ski down to the Alpincenter. Theresa went up to the Maurer (not yet in operation) with her skins in the afternoon, where she even found good, settled powder. Overall, however, off-piste skiing is only possible to a very limited extent. The park (currently only at the top) is already very good, lots of rails, boxes and also 2 kickers!
Snow quality
In the terrain: powder at the top, increasingly hard or slushy towards the bottom. With good timing, you could probably catch some firn. On the piste: Hard at the top, but still grippy. At the bottom of the Alpincenter it becomes slushy as it warms up.
Risks
Danger from stones, falls and crevasses far greater than avalanche danger.
Overall impression
Nice day on the Kitz, perfect weather and few people!
I'll be going up again on Thursday, anyone who wants to come along is welcome to get in touch ;)
